Lyrics Louisiana 1927 - Afie Jurvanen, Madison Cunningham

Louisiana 1927

What has happened down here is the wind have changed
Clouds roll in from the north and it started to rain
Rained real hard and rained for a real long time
Six feet of water in the streets of Evangeline
The river rose all day
The river rose all night
Some people got lost in the flood
Some people got away alright
The river have busted through cleared down to Plaquemines
Six feet of water in the streets of Evangeline
Louisiana
They’re tyring to wash us away
Louisiana
They’re trying to wash us away
President Coolidge came down in a railroad train
With a little fat man with a note-pad in his hand
The President say, «Little fat man isn’t it a shame
What the river has done
To this poor crackers land
